William Cox

William Nelson Cox, age 75, passed away unexpectedly on August 20, 2025, in Bainbridge, Georgia. Born on September 12, 1949, in Bainbridge, he remained a lifelong resident of the community he called home.

William was a humble and quiet man who earned the respect of those who knew him. He was a jack of all trades.; There was nothing he could not do – from working on a farm, to repairing cars, to fixing lawn mowers. He always found something to do - often seen ;tinkering around with one project or another - never content just to sit idle.

He is survived by his sisters, Glennie Cox Gray and Mary Cox Blair; nieces, Theresa Cox Avery (Matt), Pamela Cox Goodwin (Brad), Penny Cox, Debra Blair Hart (Aaron), Delores Blair Haire (Scott), and Carrie Gray Hayes (Bryan); nephew, Paul Blair; as well as several great-nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Estelle Cox.

William was preceded in death by his parents, Decar Covington (Carrie) Cox, Sr. and Verdie Lee Spooner Cox; brothers, Carey Cox Jr., and Harvey Cox; brother-in-law, Bob Gray and nephews, Ricky Blair, Steve Blair, and Kenneth Blair (Brenda).

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, August 28, 2025 at 10:00 a.m., at Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Bainbridge, Georgia where he was a member. All family and friends are welcomed to attend.
